I'd have been surprised if it had turned out otherwise. I'd expect some kind of power law distribution, and it's not news that the biggest sticks are, well, huge. If the distribution falls away quickly enough, the result foll

If 32 bit keys are enough, skip32 [1] and then alphanumeric encoding [2] on an incrementing integer key. Both of those are reversible so you won't suffer from collisions and you can get back your original integer key if you want. In py

Interesting. I too am waiting for something ML-typed to tempt me away from Python/Flask. I render mostly server-side but based on services that actually or potentially serve JSON (it’s all one process but I’m careful that services don’

Apologies for not exactly answering your question but I’m excited to see Sociocracy mentioned. Closest I got was retrospectively: in a small case study in my book Right to Left I looked back on a great experience using Sociocracy as a lens.
